further to 11 replacing media....

this has happened quite a few times today (and yes, i've rebooted, etc.,)

tl has one hdv interview clip and an assortment of jpg, png's.

1st problem is occasional crashes AFTER closing - error report sent automatically.

2nd i have 14 of these 'clips' to do, so having finished one i click new and open the next (all the interviews are precut, this 'second' opening is to drop in the stills). more often than not the tl loads correctly, but i have the thumbnails from the previous interview in the project media window. timeline plays fine. to stop this happening i simply close vegas and open it again (as has been suggested with all 'replaced' media prolems.

HOWEVER, i have a memory 'clearing' script ( %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks ) that i needed for another problem i was having with an old graphics prog. if i run this BEFORE opening the new project (veg) i DON'T have any thumbnail problems.

i have no idea what's going on, but it's working so far.

i probably wouldn't have used vegas if it wasn't for cs6 not installing on the pc in the first place ;-( that said, doing this work is a breeze in vegas.

can't live with it, can't live without it......

In terms of the crash after closing, one other poster and myself have noted, in certain situations, that saving and/or rendering seem to take longer than you would think or would seem to be indicated by the display. In either of these situations, if you try to close or exit prior to the save or render really finishing, crashes occur.

By cleaning up my projects (getting rid of media I am not using, making sure my RAM settings are appropriate, really examining plug in usage for video and audio), plus running in Win 7 compatibility mode, in my case, .....as well as waiting a tad, these crashes are diminishing for me.

Don't know if that is helpful in your situation or not.
